Excerpt from The Indian Dispossessed

Since then, those who hold the magic wand of civilization have come, many times the world over, into the land Of the unenlightened, with all shades of motives, and with all sorts of teachings; but the point of it all is that this mythological benefactor began the civilization of his chosen people, not by teaching them the alphabet, nor a new creed, nor to make bead work for the curio market, but He first taught the Italians agriculture.

From Italy's beginning to the first page of the American aborigine's story may seem a far cry. It is. Their significant relation if a hibernicism be permissible is that of dissimilarity. Had some kindly Saturn preceded the Pilgrims in the land, and first taught the Indians agriculture, the meeting of the races might have resulted very differently; but it was decreed that the Indian should receive his first impression of the better life from mere mortals.
